In April, around Almyros, taverns and restaurants reopen one week after another: a few days before your arrival, I\u2019ll send you a list of the ones that are open, including the places I\u2019d go to and those that offer home delivery. <\/p>\n      <p><strong>Deposit:<\/strong> \u20ac300 for a single traveler, \u20ac200 per person for groups of two or three.

Between 60 and 30 days in advance, the deposit will be retained. Less than 30 days in advance, the balance is due. That\u2019s why I recommend travel insurance that also covers cancellation: it protects you if you have to cancel after paying the deposit or the balance.   <\/p>\n      <p>If one person in the group drops out, the apartment remains fully booked, and the cost is split among those who are coming.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- 9.

If the event happened very recently, please write to me first, and we&#8217;ll talk it over together. <\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>What happens if I get very emotional?<\/summary><p>It&#8217;s normal; it&#8217;s part of the process. The space is safe, and having such a small group helps. <\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Is it a substitute for psychological counseling?<\/summary><p>No. It\u2019s a journey of experience, awareness, and personal transformation. If you\u2019re currently undergoing psychological or medical treatment, continue with it: this week\u2019s program can complement it, without replacing it.  <\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Can I bring someone who isn&#8217;t taking the course?<\/summary><p>No. The house is also part of the program: the work of the week happens at Magic Aurora, and what comes up needs a protected space, where no one listens without being part of it.There\u2019s also a simpler reason: when a loved one who isn\u2019t on the journey is nearby, it\u2019s natural to take care of them and adapt to their schedule, even without meaning to.  <\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Can I bring a friend who has never worked on forgiveness?<\/summary><p>Yes, if she chooses to go through the program. Neither of you needs to have any prior experience. Individual sessions stay private: whatever comes up in yours isn\u2019t shared with the other person, unless you choose to.  <\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Do I need to be in good shape for the hikes?<\/summary><p>These are leisurely walks, suitable for those who walk regularly.
